Title

Update on Efforts Related to Homeless Residents Living in Vehicles, and Consideration of Direction on Options.

Recommended Action

Receive an update on efforts related to homeless individuals and families that are living in recreational vehicles (RVs), cars, and other vehicles in Mountain View, and provide direction on options for implementation.  It is recommended that the Council consider these issues and options in two parts:

 

1.                     Provide direction on specific items requested by the Council at its February 23, 2016 meeting, along with additional related, shorter-term options aimed at providing basic care and services to those living in vehicles that are largely shorter-term options; and

 

2.                     Provide direction on broader policy for longer-term options to address homelessness.
